Chapter 56 Forest Night Attack
"Sultan, they should run to Varna."

Upon hearing the direction, Bayezid yelled at those around him.

"What are you waiting for, go after it!"

Bayezid's military talent is not bad, and of course his temper is not small, and he can explode at a moment.He couldn't tolerate the other party humiliating him like this, didn't he just say that he was going to tear it apart.

So Muhammad Pasha led Sipahi directly to Varna.You can catch up in a day.

In this way, they chased from noon to dark.There was no sign of the enemy, and Sipahi's morale began to decline.In order to pursue the enemy, they went into battle lightly, and it was dark when they ran.So Muhammad decided to camp there.

But at this time they were in a forest, as long as they got out of the forest, they could camp on the spot.

All the sipahis were thinking of taking a quick rest, oblivious to the impending danger.

"Hey, did you smell something?"

"I smell it, but I can't tell what it is."

Muhammad heard the sipahi's whispering too, and he also smelled a bad smell, but he didn't know what it was.

Fortunately, the exit was seen, but a huge tree blocked the way.Muhammad ordered it removed, and it turned out that there was a piece of paper.

"You will die here."

When Muhammad saw it, he knew that something was wrong, so he quickly ordered the army to guard.But it was too late.

Hundreds of rockets were fired from all directions, landing in trees, ground, bushes, and the fire spread rapidly.The forest turned into a sea of ​​fire.

Some sipahi who had not yet entered the forest wanted to retreat, but were dragged off their horses and killed by the sudden appearance of light cavalry and infantry.At this time, they died before they could fully react.

Soon, the drums of war sounded.The sipahis who were about to rush out had no energy to identify where the sound was coming from. They could only rush out from all directions, but they were captured as soon as they escaped.And if they didn't go out, they could only be burned to death and choked to death.

Muhammad Pasha could only break out with a few guards, and they succeeded at the cost of losing two people.

Immediately, they prepared to flee back to Burgas.But before he had gone far, the horse tripped over a rope, and Muhammad fell off his horse, and was captured alive by enemy soldiers swarming around him.

In the temporary camp not far away, Peter was looking at the Balkan sand table.This one-to-one three-dimensional map that took a lot of time to make is Peter's treasure.See above, Varna and Vidin have been inserted with the Orthodox Cross, Edirne and others have been inserted with the Ottoman Star and Moon, and Sofia and Burgas have been inserted with red and black flags, which means that the two sides compete.

"My lord, if the Grand Duke can take Sofia, then we must take Burgas, so that we can build a new line of defense to prevent other Ottoman invasions."

"Um"

Burgas and Sofia seem to be two cities that echo each other from a distance. If Plovdiv is captured again, a line of defense with the Balkan Mountains as a barrier will resist Ottoman very well.

Peter wanted to attract Ottoman's main force to relieve the pressure on Grand Duke Mircea in order to quickly win Sophia.And he will also look for opportunities to severely damage Bayezid's army.

Hearing the sound of fighting in the distance, Peter asked the generals around him.

"How is the situation outside?"

"My lord, the Ottomans are in complete chaos."

Hearing this news, all the generals were happy, but Peter remained unchanged.This is what he expected.

Putting the oriental examples of more than 1000 years here, they are all super gods.Not to mention Europe, where the Middle Ages were not yet over.

"By the way, where is Alexei?"

Just as Peter finished speaking, a missionary ran in.Still holding some paper in hand.

"My lord, what do you think of these?"

Alexey asked Peter about his new manuscript.

"It seems that the dean was right to transfer you out of the monastery," Peter said.

Alexey entered the monastery since he was a child, and then studied theology, literature, poetry and so on.Later, because of his eagerness to learn, he entered Constanta Academy to study, and because of his good literature and poetry creation, he got Peter's investment.

Because the promotion of Wallachian script requires the support of literary and artistic works, poetry and novels are the most popular and fastest way to spread, so they can naturally get Peter's support.

Alexei also lived up to expectations and created some classic works.For example, "Little Ewe", "Artisan Manole", etc., these works are all written in Wallachian script.And these did popularize the Wallachian script, and the works printed by the printing house began to spread in large numbers.

This time, Alexei personally followed Peter in order to be able to write an epic work against Ottoman. He is a man whose name will go down in history, and he doesn't care about the risk of being captured or killed.

At this moment, two soldiers escorted a disgraced man into the tent.

"You this..." (100 words omitted here)
"Who is this?"

"My lord, this is Muhammad Pasha, the commander of the cavalry unit. We took a lot of effort to get here."

Peter studied Muhammad carefully, and the sight made him uncomfortable.Because he felt that he was a chosen slave, so he struggled so hard that he wanted to kill him.

"It seems that you are not convinced." Peter looked at him at the same level, and he saw the dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Normal, after all no one would admit to being held captive by a small child.Especially Ottoman's general, he did not expect that the leader of this army turned out to be a child.

"I know you are not convinced. After all, you, your sultan, all of you don't know that I am leading the army."

"You are trampling on the land of the Orthodox Church, killing the people of the Orthodox Church, and even think that this is to save them. You are simply more shameless than those in Rome and Augsburg."

Peter's words actually stunned Muhammad. He had been in the army for many years. It was the first time, and probably the only time, that he was stunned by someone much younger than himself.

"I admit that your sultan is very powerful, but he will definitely fail. And you, you can't see it anymore."

Immediately afterwards, he asked the soldiers to take him down, and he didn't know what happened after that.

It was dawn again, and Peter's army wiped out the Ottoman vanguard again.And this time it was cleaner than the first annihilation.

And when Bayezid led the army here angrily, only the burnt forest and the pitch-black land came into view.The crow croaked on the dead tree, which made people panic when they heard it.

Bayezid couldn't believe it, there must have been a big battle here.And it must have been Muhammad who met the enemy.

He continued to walk forward, and the scene in front of him made him throw up.

Hundreds of Ottoman sipahi were tied to sharp wooden posts, and their death conditions were extremely miserable.Some of the sipahis who were not quite dead still begged with feeble voices to save him.

Bayezid became more and more panicked as he walked. For the first time, he felt scared.It wasn't long before he saw Mohammad Pasha, who was at the top.to prove his status.

Bayezid couldn't take it anymore, he asked Muhammad to be put down, but underneath he found a piece of paper with the same handwriting that he got before.

"The Sultan had better think about the next journey, or this will be your end."

"Or do you want me to screw your head off and kick it as a ball?"
